Arsenal Football Club is actively pursuing multiple high-profile signings in the 2025 summer transfer window to strengthen their squad. The club is close to finalizing a deal for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, with negotiations progressing on a transfer fee reportedly around €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons. Gyökeres, 27, has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract valid until June 2030 and has informed Sporting of his desire to join Arsenal, refusing to return to pre-season training with his current club. Meanwhile, Arsenal has agreed personal terms with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, 23, who has given the green light to the move. The clubs are in advanced talks over a transfer fee, with an initial bid around £50 million plus add-ons, and the deal is expected to be worth approximately £52 million. Madueke has been granted permission by Chelsea to leave their Club World Cup camp to undergo a medical with Arsenal and finalize the transfer. Additionally, Arsenal remains interested in Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, who has a £68 million release clause. Although Arsenal has made contact with Eze's representatives and Crystal Palace, the club has so far refused to sell him for less than the release clause. Arsenal is reportedly prepared to offer a player swap to facilitate the transfer and aims to secure Eze without needing to sell current players. Tottenham Hotspur and other clubs have also shown interest in Eze, but Arsenal appears to be leading the chase. Furthermore, Bayern Munich has renewed interest in Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, with talks held with his agent, although no transfer has been finalized. Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta has been personally involved in negotiations, emphasizing the club's commitment to these acquisitions as they prepare for the upcoming season.
